Quote:Yeah, big inexperience argument to be made seeing not only was he a Freshman and Sophomore then, but he was also in his first and second years of not playing the position he WR position he was used to.

 

Really hard to compare his performance under those conditions to playing as a corner being an upperclassman with 2 years of experience on defense/secondary.

 

If he played both offense and defense in high school and simply dropped the wide receiver job in college, it is not that difficult. But I could never be a scout.

 

Chris Gamble was a wide receiver in high school and his freshman year at Ohio State. During his sophomore season, he played both wide receiver and cornerback. As a junior, he played exclusively at cornerback. His "Gamble" paid off: Carolina drafted him as a cornerback and he never looked back. Could Byron Jones have similar success as a guy who switched from wide receiver to defensive back?
